Here is a link to the proposed agreement rejected by the political and community leaders of the pro-union British minority in the north-east of the country during the so-called Haass talks (PDF document). Virtually nothing about the Irish language or a bill of rights for Irish-speaking citizens and communities is contained in the document. I will comment more when I have had time to study it.
Seamus I wouldn’t expect to see anything about irish language act or rights .Haass was mediating parades, the past and flags and thanks to the DUP and UUP got nowhere.
Have only skimmed through the document – seems very bland, hard to see what motivated refusal except usual bigotry and power lust.
Anyway, best wishes for 2014
ps I do miss the rss feeds because I didn’t bother bookmarking the links. laziness is always punished!!

Surely as a much need concession Gaelige could be banned. It really upsets a lot of people.

So do parades, can you see them being banned?

Or to take the opposite view, perhaps we could ban English? 😉

How quick people spot these things! 🙂 Several readers contacted me once the links went up. I put them in place this morning. Bit messy at the moment, I will have to fix it all next week, so apologies for now.
